2️⃣ Jiufen Old Street Features✨:

1) Grandma Lai's Taro Balls! I personally prefer to eat ice taro balls, which have all kinds of flavors, and the taste is soft and chewy. Drinking with sweet soup is super happy!

2) Hima cafe, a Japanese coffee shop, has a very Kyoto feel, the interior decoration is very cozy, and it is really satisfying to have a cup of coffee with Jiufen's natural scenery. It is very suitable for sheltering from the rain and sitting and chatting with friends! The coffee is not bad, but the drinks are a bit full and the pudding is very average TAT.

3) Japanese? ! You will see a lot of Japanese tourists, especially student groups, so there are also many shops selling Japanese souvenirs

4) The red lanterns in the scenic area, everyone will check in at Amei Tea House! As for whether to enter or not is another matter hahahahaha, it is really for drinking tea inside. Jiufen Old Street is quite large and you can go shopping everywhere nearby, and there are many snacks and gifts inside, which is very suitable for buying souvenirs for friends and family and trying Taiwanese food!

It is best to prepare an umbrella when coming here, because it is particularly easy to rain on the mountain. If you are not Traveling by car, you must pay attention to the bus time!
